2D DIMENSIONAL PROJECT : SELF PORTRAIT OF MOTHER NATURE.

YUP! Yet another one of my very own self portrait. 

Mr charles gave us a brief introduction about self portrait during Contextual Studies and showed me a clear understanding of what is self portrait all about. 

Now, you must be wondering what on earth am I talking about in my caption? Well, in our 2-dimensional class, Mr Charles asked us to make our own SELF-PORTRAIT out of our creativity. 

Instead of drawing, painting and etc, Mr charles told us to make our own, SELF PORTRAIT by using organic /natural materials. Also known as ''TRASH''. Haha. 

I was thinking '' TRASH''? It's something different that i wanted to try and apply. 

So, I basically collected all my trashy natural materials that i can find and design my own SELF PORTRAIT! I love doing all this because MOTHER NATURE is so important to me and by designing this, will mean a lot. 

In class, i was preparing myself and started to outline my drawing and apply my creativity on to a white sheet of paper. Whatever i have applied it all comes with brainstorm, then the work in progress. 

HERE IS MY '' DESIGNING IN PROCESS''. 

SELF PORTRAIT IN PROCESS...

TADAAAAAA! I know it looks simple. Because this is just the process in making. Every single detail here, is made out of the materials i took from home. Yes, people might think i could use better materials, but look at it the other perspective, i used materials that represents my look. And it came just the way i expected it to be. You dont have to buy materials, u could just dig up your trash bin and you could find something :D

I decided to go towards surrealism because it lets me use my imagination to create something out of these materials. Using such simple materials can also do absolutely anything i can think of. 

Moving on, NOW i would like to show you my FINALE of my own SELF PORTRAIT. I improvise it by using more of MOTHER NATURE stuff!!!

JENG JENG JENGGGGGG!! Here is my very own ORGANIC SELF PORTRAIT. Okay, i'm going to tell you what exactly i used for this SELF PORTRAIT. 

For my hair, of course we needed something long , so i used strings to symbolise as my hair and then decorated it with BLUE/YELLOW paper crepes and some leaves to bring out the contrast.  As for my eye brow, i picked out PINK STRINGS and my eyes, i used black seeds to symbolise it as my pupil and oats as my eye ball. 

Where as, my nose, i decided to use brown strings and some white seeds to create the texture. White flowers were for my lips and sticks/black pepper seeds were for my jaw. 

Everything else, i used to decorate it to represent myself. All this materials have no cost and its free!!! That's what i like about it. Picking up anything in the trash and I don't have to come out with any cent. 

One thing i love about this PORTRAIT, is because i can keep it forever and when i grow up, i could look at it again and give a good laugh about it. (lol) 

REMEMBER, think imaginative and you could do wonders !! 

Facial expressions of me. 

Till then! xx

SELF PORTRAIT.

One said  that,  ''EVERY PORTRAIT THAT IS PAINTED WITH FEELING IS A PORTRAIT  OF THE ARTIST, NOT THE SITTER''

First of all I have never heard of Contextual Studies before and it is my first time getting to know all about this subject. And i like to give thanks to Mr Charles for actually giving me the opportunity to learn more about this subject! ;D   *excited*

I have done a few research about SELF - PORTRAIT. & I must say, many artists have inspired me. Their talent of them abstracting the details of these paintings, have driven me that these artists have so much confident and feelings! 

 Here are some research that i have done for this assignment  : 

THE, PABLO PICASSO 

MARC CHAGALL 

Self portrait of MAO MARILYN

Russian artist - Zinaida Yevgenyevna Serebriakova 

Salvador Dali

Judith Supine 

Im amaze of how they tried different elements  and materials in making their own final piece of art work.  As you can see, each paintings have different emotions and creativity. Some people might tell me its a weird painting. But i say, this paintings have a story behind it. 

These are few other research that i came through and i find it interesting and unique as well! :)

My all time favourite, butterflies. 

I must say, during my research, these paintings actually somehow relates to my personality. Each painting have their own characteristics and details. These artists have their own ways of expressing their thoughts, imagination and feelings and no doubt, i am impress. 

PS : Will update very soon about my final self portrait and another self portrait that i have done in class which is more to mother nature. So, till next time! 

Sincerely, Jessica :)
